Autocomplete list on objects disappearing??

G

Grahammer

Programming in VBA (code for a control on an MS Access form) I have a
problem with autocomplete (or intellisense or whatever they call it)...

I have a control or object or anything else with properties/methods/etc... I
type it's name, then a period and a list of it's attributes drops down as it
should. After a second or two this list disappears by itself? This should
NOT be happening.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? : (

This is with Office 2000 on one PC and Office 2003 on another PC. Visual
Studio 6 SP6 is installed. I also have VS.Net installed.

Any help resolving this would REALLY be appreciated!

Do you by any chance have a form open (even if hidden) with a Timer
event running? That'll do it.

That was it...Not my form so I didn't notice.

Now I have to figure out how to enable/disable the form during editing
(flipping between design and app mode)

Thx!
